Nestle extends CSR to budding soccer stars
About 2000 Nigerian youths benefited from Nestle’s Milo Football Clinic, held in Lagos at the weekend. This, the company said, was part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme to the country.
The football clinic was organised to teach the young aspiring footballers the basic technique and rudiment of the game. The football clinic also had former Nigeria goalkeeper, Peter Rufai and Paulo Cardoso, an international football scout from Portugal, as instructors.
Speaking at the event, the Category Brand Manager, Nestle Milo, Mr. Olufemi Akintola said the initiative was meant to develop and enhance Nigerian youths. He added that the football clinic had been taken to Enugu and Ilorin respectively to help encourage, nurture and also groom talents.
Also, Rufai commended Nestle and its management for supporting and developing the youths through the football clinic. He urged Nigerians to support the initiative, which he believed, would lead to the development of the economy.
